At a Glance

Greenpoint has historically been Polish and working-class — a humble, compact neighborhood in a corner pocket of Brooklyn. In recent years, the neighborhood has seen an influx of Hispanic families and a spillover of artist types and younger professionals from nearby Williamsburg. Trendy bars and boutiques have opened up. Rents, meanwhile, have remained low compared with those in Manhattan or brownstone Brooklyn, which makes Greenpoint an attractive alternative to living in a cramped East Village walkup.

City Room

In the race for a Democratic district leader in Brooklyn, Lincoln Restler lost to Chris Olechowski, a Polish community leader who won at least in part because of support in the district's Hasidic precincts.
